I thought there was about 25k at the game today including the 1-2k High School band/Cheerleaders.

Anyway he Called it embarrassing in 2nd segment, then in their final thoughts (imo a come to Jesus moment for him) wondered if the fan base/crowd engagement, etc that he grew up on is dead and gone and he's just the dinosaur who doesn't recognize it (answer is yes),

Him, Greg, and Mario also opined if there wasn't a sell out or close to it. (Thanks Sparty for bringing 5-10k of your owns fans to make it look better) that would be no bueno.

But then a doog tweeted him saying how could UW expect to compete today with the M's in the playoff race and Sounders on tv, along with prices to get in the game. Prices that would have been free or close to it with minimal effort the last two games.

Later in the evening, UW Leah gave him a twitter excuse punchlist of why the crowd was so poor. My favorites were the smoke from fires and Hamilton play tonight.

 
This is what happens when you do the PC hire from within for AD instead of conducting a nationwide search for the best possible candidate.
 
Hamilton? lol

People don't like being forced to take an emergency cold shot to get in. People don't like all the weird start times. People don't GAF about Big Sky teams. People lose interest when they're 4-8 and gave away the North to whOregon the year before. It's not too complicated David.

Cool story bro.
 
I saw the cars exiting 520 this morning heading to Alaska Airlines Field. I remember wondering why anyone would go to see this game.

Attendance was an issue well before Jenn was hired. She sucks, but not sure even Mike Lude could turn this around.

You're right, they should go get some stale popcorn and some warm RC Cola and sit in the rickety community college stands and watch a real WA college team, the Central Wildcats.

If they're lucky, Pennywise will be lurking under the bleachers to put them out of their misery.

Stanford had a good crowd today. It's not hard to understand. AD's are just massive losers.

Just a really retarded way to pump up the MSU game, but still.

UW Leah is worse than OregonDuckGirl and it’s not even close. And that’s saying a lot.

I think she just gave us the template for an alternative to Five Reasons: Five Excuses.

Dear UW, Jen Cohen, etc,

STOP FUCKING SCHEDULING FCS SCHOOLS! Start scheduling multiple non conference power 5 schools each fucking year! We used to play that way! Time to go back to that.

Signed,

UW season ticket holder who skipped both Kent State and Portland State because that is bullshit that we play them and I am damn near dropping my season tix because of shit like this.

This is the primary reason that I've never been even close to buying season tickets. Why would I do that when only three games at most are worth going to?

The smoke was legitimately a problem. Not horrible the first half, but when I left middle of the third it was bad and got much worse shortly after. It was also a shit opponent. Who cares about watching that game other than diehards when it's a hot day and there are many better things to do with your time?

You are also forgetting that UW sucked ass last year and there's no excitement around the program?

Most schools don't sell out anymore. After enduring the 5.5 total hours of travel time to and from the stadium, I won't be back for a while. Beer is colder, cheaper, and far better at my house.
